Books

Every year I set a goal to read as many books as possible. The nerd in me wants to document the literary adventures, so a spreadsheet was created complete with graphs. This spreadsheet has been with me since A Prayer for Owen Meany my senior year in high school. It calculates the number of books completed and how many pages I have to my goal. When I met Dustin it became the ultimate competition.
